Explanation:They are "hacking" programs that keep trying until they get the password.

"I actually use their newest version which can stop people from hammering your site with username and password combinations until they get one that works. I was getting at least one person a day running one of those programs on my site trying to get in. I still use an .htaccess file in my members area, but it no longer checks for a username and password. It looks for a temporary cookie that is placed on their system is they are approved by my security program. It's just as secure but blocks those password hammering programs completely."http://www.easywebsitepromotion.com/website-promotion/htacce...
